I'm not sure this is 'critical' but just had this through on an email:
This email contains critical information about your Olympic Games event at Greenwich Park.
If you have tickets for more than one London 2012 event, you may receive multiple emails. Please read each one carefully as important details, such as when to arrive and what you can and cant bring, may vary.
1. Be prepared for security checks when you arrive: this will be like taking an international flight at an airport. It will be busy, so get there early gates will open two hours before your session starts. If you have a ticket for the Equestrian cross-country event, gates open at 8.30am.
2. Bring as little as possible with you: one medium-sized handbag or small backpack is allowed per person. There are no storage facilities available. You can bring food, provided it fits in your bag, and an empty plastic water bottle to fill up inside the venue. You cannot bring in liquids over 100ml. Read the full list of prohibited and restricted items
3. Leave plenty of time to travel: routes to Greenwich Park are expected to be very busy. If youre coming from central London, it may be quicker to take the train from Charing Cross or Victoria to Blackheath station. Use the spectator journey planner to plan your journey and, where necessary, book your travel in advance. Dont forget your free Games Travelcard on the day.
4. Remember the only way to pay is by Visa (debit, credit or prepaid card) or cash: for details of the services and facilities available in your venue, read the venue information online. There are no ATM cash machines available at your venue.
5. Explore Greenwich Park and the local area after your event: it may take a while to exit the venue so why not stick around, grab a bite to eat and enjoy the fantastic views that the park has to offer? After youve left, avoid the queues at local stations by strolling through the historic centres of Greenwich or Blackheath, or visiting the Royal Museums Greenwich
Ticketing Terms and Conditions also apply. Ticket holders aged 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Please keep your ticket with you at all times. If you decide to leave, you wont be allowed back in.
Things change, so check online!
